The Rescue of Abu Hamid 


A Three Months Serial. 
(AT THE OASIS OF KIBAN.) 


LL night the good steed was urged to his best pace, and the 
` good creature was holding out well, when the first signs of 
coming day at last appeared. The stars and moon began to 
wane, and Nature withdrew the veil of night as swiftly аз 


she had let it fall upon the previous evening, the eastern skv 


became tinted with long streaks of crimson, the crimson 
quickly faded into gray, and almost immediately the sun leapt above the 
horizon and found Abu Hamid and his lady love lost in the desert with a 
horse that must soon show signs of growing tired. 

Тре terrible heat of the African day, adding to his fatigue, began to aí- 
lect the horse almost immediately and struck terror to the hearts of the fugi- 
tives as they thought what must befall the lone traveler who loses his horse. 
Accordingly they dismounted and led the steed (hoping thereby to relieve 
him), and at the same time scanning all the surounding country in the hope 
of catching sight of a caravan or a nomad camp. But after walking a great 
distance without seeing a single sign of life, they agreed that alternately one 
should ride while the other walked and led the horse. Nevertheless, the poor 
animal continued to weaken from thirst and from the heat that seemed to 
radiate from the sand, and at last he sank down never to rise again. The 
two unfortunates whom he had borne thus far, despairingly plodded on—they 
knew not where. 

Abu took a leathern water flask from his girdle and pressed it to the lips 
of his companion and then to his own. The little of the precious liquid which 
they dared to take seemed to give them new strength and enabled them Чо - 
plod wearily on a few more miles farther; and then the same weakness began 
to come over them once more. Тһе woman looked with sorrowful eyes at 
her lover and said: "Oh! are we to perish on the burning sands! Then what 
doth it profit us that we have escaped the sword of Lamore?" But no sooner 


125 


STUDENT : LANTERN 


had the words left her lips than Abu exclaimed: "Now glory be to Allah! 
the oasis of Kiban!" and turning to her left the woman saw in the distance a 
cluster of tall green palm trees, in the midst of which stood a great stone and 
Бу this stone Abu knew what oasis this was. 

The two were almost ready to swoon from the heat when the oasis was 
sighted. They managed to stagger the rest of the distance to the base of tha: 
great stone, where a spring of cold water, clear as crystal, gushed forth, and 
falling on their faces, drank deeply of that which beyond all doubt saved their 
lives. Then, they dipped up some of the water and bathed their tortured 
brows. They then sat down to rest in the cool shade of the oasis, and were 
soon sufficiently refreshed to look around and examine the place where they 
would probably have to make their home for sometime. 

'The giant trees that towered above them were of two kinds, most of them 
were palms, but a few were cocoanut trees. The oasis stretched about five 
hundred paces on all sides, and was covered by a bluish-green grass very 
short and tough. In the entire tract there was not a sign of animal life to be 
seen; по birds sang among the branches; no monkeys chattered and fussed in 
the cocoanut trees; no beady-eyed boa constrictor drew his shining body 
noiselessly along through the grass; and from behind that enormous stone, 
no lion stepped to dispute the right of way with the new comers, but all ap- 
peared to be a lovely solitude intended for use only by travelers, a bit of Para- 
dise transported to the desert. 

The small remaining portion of the day was spent in gathering fuel with 
which to keep a fire lighted during the night. The two took turns, one watch- 
ing, while the other slept, as they did not think it wise that both should sleep 
at the same time in a strange place, and exposed to unknown dangers. 

When day again returned, the lovers ate a breakfast of cocoanut and of 
wild berries and grapes, varieties of which grew thickly in one part of the 
oasis. Lunch over, the thoughts and conversation of the two naturally turned 
to their recent calamity, concerning which Abu could never think or speak 
without exhibiting the most passionate hatred for the conquerors of his peo- 
ple, the blame for which he laid at the door of all Christendom.  Abu's lady 
love, although sharing her companion's feelings, soon tired of the unpleasant 
topic and sought to change it temporarily. "Abu, can'st thou say how this 
mighty stone happens to lie here in the desert when there is none other so 
large as a man's fist within a thousand miles of this place?" she asked, when 


a pause in the conversation afforded her the opportunity. 


“This stone hath indeed a strange history, my love," returned Abu, ар- 


126 


STUDENT :: LANTERN 


parently glad to talk of something else. "Long years ago, one of our ances- 
tors was lost in the desert in a manner similar to you and me. All day he 
rode trying to discover his whereabouts and night found him still in ignorance. 
The moon flooded the desert with her golden beams, the jewel-like stars burst 
forth and studded the deep blue canopy of Allah. Overjoyed with the beauty 
of the scene, he broke forth in a song of praise, when suddenly a bright light 
fell all around him, the orbs of heaven were eclipsed by its brilliance, and the 
earth was rendered almost as bright as day. Casting his eyes up to heaven, 
. he beheld a flaming wonder darting overhead from the east to the west, оп, 
on it passed with a hollow roar, and fell in the desert with a jolt that jarred 
the earth! All night it continued to buzz and shoot forth blue and red flames, 
and when day at last appeared it had nearly burned itself out. Our ancestor 
approached the place, and found it to be an enormous stone in which appeared 
to be many strange substances, and at its base the earth had been split and a 
tiny stream was gushing forth. Many a moon hath waxed and waned be- 
twixt that time and this, but the stone hath continued to lie there and the 
stream continued to gush forth. The tiny spring watered the earth about it, 
and finally plants began to spring up, great palms and mighty cocoanut trees 
shot up into the desert air, and so was made the oasis of Kiban.”

Her Senior’s Valentine 


»ND the Senior receiving the greatest number of valentines will be 
pronounced the most popular girl in the clas of 19—," With these 


words the President of Bambaree Hall descended from the platform 
and in a few minutes the many chattering girls filled the great halls of the 
fine old building. But a party of stragglers remained in the chapel. 

"Oh, good! Here's my chance to show that Elise Walker is the most pop 
ular Senior, Jessie,” said the bright-eyed Freshman, Florence Blake. 

“Why, Florie,” responded Jessie Alton, a tall, dark girl" you haven't 
ever had any right to say that Elise is more popular than any other girl. It’s 
merely because you have a ‘crush’ on her. Now, for my part, I am positively 
sure that Bernice Sanders has just exactly as good a chance as Elise, although 
I do like her best,—next to Bernice. | am going to send every one of my 
valentines to her, and I do hope she'll get И. Bernice is a perfect dear!" 

"Well, Jessie Alton! Don’t ever talk about ‘crushes,’ for if anyone ever 
had a ‘crush,’ you have on Bernice!” retorted Florence, sharply. “By the 
way, how many can we send? Ten? Oh, how nice, that counts just ten more 
for Elise. Well, good night, honey, I’m going off and make my valentines. 
See you in the morning,” and off she ran to her room. 

It was after midnight. The great clock in the hall had just chimed a 
silvery half hour. Florence sat at the desk in her college room, working hard 
over several daintily-colored papers with hearts, cupids, arrows, and the usual 
valentine symbols strewn about. 

"Dear one, be so very kind, 
Give me just one little sign 


Telling you're my Valentine." 
Florence sighed. "Well, there's nine done. Now just one more rhyme." 


"Your lips are like roses, 
Your eyes are gems fine; 

Dut what matters all this, 
You're my Valentine!” 

"Oh, mercy!” she went on, "what a job done. But then, it's for a good 
cause; it will help Elise." Апа starting up with her precious valentines, 
she made for the room in which the great valentine box stood. But she was 
not alone on her way, for as she passed a room down the hall, another kimona- 


clad figure entered the still hall. Florence was bereft of any idea of what her 


138 


STUDENT : LANTERN 
next act should be, for she knew that no one was to be awake at that hour, 
but her fears were uncalled for, because the other girl was none other than 
Jessie herself; she, too, held a pack of envelopes in her arms, and started for 
the valentine room. 

Now, to be roaming about after midnight was a grave disobedience, but 
for a Freshman to go into the Theniam sorority rooms without a Theniam 
chaperone was a far greater wrong,—in the eyes of a Theniam. But, never- 
theless, Jessie tip-toed silently for the forbidden parlor and started to empty 
her arms, when Florence followed her and announced her presence. 

They both laughed quietly over the co-incidence when they were sud- 
denly startled by the footsteps of a third person coming down the hall. 

"Oh, Florie, we have to hide now, or if we get caught, well—you know 


the consequences," whispered Jessie in an almost tragic tone of voice. 

“АП right, behind the sofa," responded Florence, and both ran to hide 
behind it. 

In the light of the still-glowing fire, the two girls could very easily see 
all that was about to go on. 

They had just made themselves safe and the third person entered. They 
both started up noiselessly but with wonder, for the girl was no one less than 
Elise, Florence's own Elise. The large box in her arms refused to go through 
the opening in the valentine box, so she laid it on top, address downward. 

"Oh," breathed Florence, peacefully, after Elise had gone back as quietly 
as she had come, "I'm just awfully anxious to see who that's for. I’m most 
sure it's for me, because I know she likes me; she said 50. I simply have to 
take a little peep," and she went up and turned the package over, reading: 

"Miss Elise Walker, 
Bambaree Hall." 

Florence started back suddenly. Зо that was the kind of a girl Elise was. 
So ambitious to be ahead of her classmates that she would do a little under- 
hand thing like that. 

“Jess, dear, come here. Just look what Elise has done. Oh, I’m so 
sorry, I liked her so well, but I know, I know that I can never like her again," 
and Florence sat back on the sofa. Jessie read the inscription, looked at 
Florence, then at the box, and said: 

"Never mind, Florie, that is too bad. Really, | never thought Elise would 
do that. Hadn't we better go back?" 

The two friends started back; but, before she left, florence gathered up 


her valentines in her arms, and hurried on to join her friend. On reaching 


129 


STUDENT :: LANTERN 


her room she put the envelopes in her desk and retired for the night. She 
climbed into bed a little sadly, but soon was far off in Dreamland with Elise 
and the valentines. 

The next evening, February 14, the college girls assembled in the par- 
lor to distribute the valentines. Florence watched Elise receive many val- 
entines, and then, finally, one of the monitors came to the valentine box Elise 
had sent and proceeded to deliver it to her. Florence watched her curiously 
now, as Elise scrutinized the box, when to the younger gorl’s great astonish- 
ment, laughed and cried, “Well, isn't that the greatest! I must have been so 
tired and rattled when І addressed this last night, that I addressed it to my- 
self instead of Florence Blake, whom it was meant for. There, Florie, is 
something for you, dear.” 

Florence took the box, thanked Elise for it and excused herself. She 
then ran up to her room, took the ten envelopes from their hiding place in the 
desk and rushed back down, placing them in her Senior’s lap. 

“And some for you, too,” said Florence quietly. 

When the returns came in, the result was that Elise and Bernice were 
declared the winners, much to the great joy of Florence and Jessie. 

That night, after all was quiet, Florence confided to Jessie, “I really 
didn't think Elise was capable of doing that. It is too far above her. I guess 
that's why I didn’t tear the valentines up, or give them to anyone else, and it 
makes me glad that each of them won, because neither of us have to be sorry." 

"Yes," agreed Jessie, "this has surely been a fine February 14th."

The Conquering of Betty 


ЕТТУ is such a queer little thing," objected Beatrice. 
And she wears such an ugly old gym. suit," said Clara disdain- 
fully. 
* And she fixes her hair in those funny little pig-tails," said Julia, giggling. 
"But she can play basketball, and we need her on the team," declared 
Edith. *Our class won't win the athletic championship if we don't get the 
basketball pennant from the Juniors. Besides, you can't put her off the team 
now. The committee put her on, and on she stays—unless one of the subs 
works up to her place, and that is just as likely as that I shall take a trip to 
the south pole this summer." 


“Well, I don't see why one of our crowd couldn't have made the team 
instead of Betty. She is so odd, and she dresses in the most outlandish fas- 
hion! Why, she looks like her own grandmother." 


The girls laughed at Clara's comment, but stopped suddenly as a slight! 
sound behind them made them turn. А girl in a shabby gymnasium suit, 
her hair in little braids tied with red ribbon, was disappearing through a door 
a few yards away. The quartet looked at one another in dismay. 

"Oh, do you suppose she heard?" asked Clara, anxiously. "I wouldn't 
want to hurt her feelings. 

^] guess she was too far away," answered Julia, comfortably leaning back 
against the gymnasium mattresses on which the girl's were sitting. "She 
was probably coming to practice and forgot something and had to go back 
for it." . 

But Betty had heard, and as she sped through the corridor to her own 
room her hands were clenched and her eyes blazed with an angry light. So 
that was what they thought of her! "A queer little thing—dressed like her 
own grandmother!" She threw herself on the bed and pressed both hands 
over her ears, as if to shut out the hateful words. 

"I'm just as good as they are," she exclaimed. “Ги ahead of all of them 
in classes, and their money doesn't make them any better than I am. I won't 
stay on the team. They can win their old’ pennant themselves. Oh dear; 
oh dear! why did I ever come to this school?” 

She lay on her bed, at first tense with anger, then shaking from head to 
foot. In one way her life had been a lonely one, brought up as she had been 
by a brilliant father whose absorption in his scientific work had given him 
little time to take his one beloved daughter where she might have young life 


131 


STUDENT : LANTE.RN 


around her. Around her father's associates her quick mind and alert brain 
had won her many friends, but with girls of her own age she was shy and 
constrained. In the long months she had spent at Hosmer Hall the other 
students, absorbed in their own affairs, had taken no trouble to.find out what 
lay behind that shy exterior. То do them justice, none of them realized that 
Betty was longing with all her heart to join in their school life, to drop casu- 
ally into their rooms and to have them greet her in the gay, careless fashion 
they used toward one another. T 

A sudden determination made her spring from the bed and stand for a. 
moment in thought. Then, with a quick nod of her head and a look of tri- 
umph on her face, she started once more for the gymnasium. Her mind was 
made up. She would be revenged on those girls for their unkind words, and: 
she would make them sorry they had criticized her. Her plan was simple 
enough. She would stay on the basketball team and work apparently with 
as much enthusiasm as any of the girls. Then on the day of the game she 
would play as poorly as she could without arousing suspicion and would do 
all in her power to make her team lose. What did she care for victory? The 
class had ignored her and she would make them pay for it. The basketball 
pennant should go to another class and after it was all over, the girls should 
know why they had lost it and that they were responsible for their defeat. 
Then she would leave Hosmer Hall and never, never come back, she told her- 
self, angrily. 

When Betty reached the gym. a dozen girls were there laughing and 
chattering in the gay fashion that always made her feel more lonely and 
friendless. One or two nodded to her as she picked up a ball and began to 
practice throwing the basket, but the majority of them kept up the discussion 
of some class affair, 

When the practice began, Betty was a different girl. Her grace and. 
quick eyes and responsive muscles made her stand out from the other players 
and caused the coach to look at her approvingly. 

"Good work, Betty," more than once had greeted some clever play, but 
the girl's hurt heart did not warm to the words of praise, but rejoiced in the 
thoughts of her revenge. In the weeks that followed, Betty's whole world . 
was filled with basketball and as her playing improved daily, the other girls. 
found a feeling of admiration replacing their former attitude toward her. 

"Betty, you're a wonder," cried Beatrice one day after practice. You 
beat us all; I believe you could win the Junior game all by yourself" But 
Betty made no reply. 


132 


STUDENT :: LANTERN 


The day and hour of the Sophomore-Junior basketball game arrived and 
found the opposing teams ready. Upon the result of this game depended the 
winning of the athletic championship of the school. From the balcony Betty 
was pointed out as the best player on the field. 

“The Juniors can't posibly win with Betty on our side," said a Sopho- 
more. When the game started, all was silence except by the quick feetfalls 
of the players, the pat of the ball on the floor, the shrill sound of the whistle 
and the ringing cheers. 

At first the Sophomores were confident of victory, but something hap- 
pened, their star player had failed again and again while the Juniors were 
scoring successfully.’ The girls, save one, could not understand and the 
Sophomore coach groaned as she sighed to herself, "What's the matter with 
Betty? I never saw her play like that before." 

Indeed, she had never played like that. The girl on whom all depended 
was helping the opposite side to win, but none knew the reason. Нег at- 
tempts at a basket were pitifully weak, and time after time allowed the Juniors 
to make a goal. 

At the end of the first half, the Sophomores heard with sinking hearts, 
the score: Juniors 29, Sophomores 8. The distracted coach called her team 
around her for advice and encouragement. 

"Girls, you must brace пр. The score isn't hopeless; and think what the 
championship means to the class! Betty, you must do better work. Bea- 
trice, Edith, Clara, Julia, don't expect some other player to win the game, but 
remember it depends upon each one of you. It’s for the honor of your class, 
girls. То lose is no disgrace, if you fight for victory till the last whistle 
sounds, but don't give the game away. Try to win—for the honor of the 
class !" 

For the honor of the class! The words struck Betty’s heart Suddenly 
nothing seemed to matter but to win the game for her class—to redeem her 
own honor and the honor of her team. She turned to the girls impulsively 
and poured out her words in a choked voice. 

"Girls, we can win! Tve been trying to lose the game purposely. Oh, 
| know it was wicked and dishonorable but I was hurt and lonely. Гус never 
had girl friends—I don't know how to treat them. But, oh! I wanted friends 
so badly and I—I heard you say I was a queer little thing and so I took this 
way to pay you back. I never expect you to forgive me, but won't you please 
forget it, just till the game is over, and help me win—for the honor of the 


class?” 


133 


STU DENT :: LANTERN 


At Betty's last words, a murmur of shame and regret went around the 
little group and the girls movéd toward her by one impulse, and Beatrice 
cried, "It's for you to forgive us! We've been selfish beasts and I know the 
other girls think just as I do. You're as brave as you can be, and whether 
we win this game or not, I want you for my friend." 

"So do I." assented the others. 

"But we will win," cried Betty. "I know we will!” 

Just then the summons came for the beginning of the second half. The 
Juniors, confident of victory, found themselves opposed at every turn. It 
seemed to Betty that a leaden weight had been lifted from her heart and she 
successfully made basket after basket. The rest of the team, inspired by her 
example, played as they had never played before, and in spite of all the Juniors 
could do, the final score was 38 to 31 in favor of the Sophomores. 

With a rush the members of the victorious team were caught up on the 
shoulders of the other girls and carried triumphantly up and down the gym. 
Then someone shouted, “Three cheers for Betty," and the enthusiastic re- 
sponse fairly shook the walls. For the first time in all those bitter weeks tears 
came into Betty's eyes, but they were tears of joy. By conquering a desire 
for revenge she had gained not only victory over herself, but victory for her 
team and a permanent place in the hearts of her comrades.

Forgetting her husband's abucifer, 
She promptly forgave him, 
Swore falsely to save him, 


Thus woman lets man make a gucifer. 


Still, the officers, seeing the rusifer, 
Refused to take any excusifer. 
But she made things so hot 
That they fled from the spot— 


As a witness they ne'er could make usifer. 


й 
Then once more as proud as old Lucifer, 
She thrashed hubby well for abucifer, 
And the louder he wailed, 
Why the harder she whaled, 
'Till at length he abjectly begged trucifer.

Oratory and Debate. 

As the season for oratory and de- 
bating draws near, the Student Lan- 
tern, in the interest of the manly art 
of word structure and eloquence, in 
this number publishes the condi- 
tions under which oratory, debate 
and declamation are practised in 
Saginaw High. 

Saginaw High school is a mem- 
ber of the Michigan State Orator- 
ical Association, and also of the 
Peninsular League. The oratorical 
contests are open to all members of 
the High school who are success- 
fully carrying fifteen hours of work. 
Orations must not exceed 1,500 
words in length, and four typewri- 
ten copies, together with outline and 
references, must be sent to the 
chairman in charge of the contest, 
at least fifteen days previous to date 
of contest. The contests in declam- 
ation are open to all Freshmen and 
Sophomores who are successfully 


carrying fifteen hours of work. 


ВЮ МТ : LANTERN 


Subject of declamation must be 
taken from approved list, which is 
now in the library for consultation. 

The school contest for the Michi- 
gan State takes place in the Assem- 
Wednesday, March 11. 


The winner of the school contest 


bly room 


goes to the sub-district contest at 
St. Louis on April 10. The sub- 
district winners go to the district 
contest on April ?4, and the dis- 
trict winners go to the State con- 
test on May 8, 1914. 

Тһе Peninsular League, which is 
made up of Ann Arbor, Arthur Hill, 
За е Creek, Jackson, Kalamazoo, 
Muskegon and Saginaw, provides 
То be 
eligible for the Peninsular, pupils 


for contests in oratory only. 


must be passing in at least three 
subjects. Orations must not exceed 
2,000 words in length; four type- 
written copies, with outline and ref- 
erences, must be sent to the secre- 
tary, Mr. E. E. Worth, of Kalama- 
200. For the Peninsular, the school 
winner of the Michigan State shall 
also be eligible, provided he shall 
have been eliminated at either the 
sub-district ог district contests. 
However, if the school winner of 
the Michigan State shall survive to 
the State contest, he shall be in- 
eligible for the Peninsular, as the 
final contests in these two leagues 
occur on the same night in different 


cities and it would be impossible 


137 


ior the same person to represent 
Saginaw High at both. 

The Class of 1912 has donated a 
sum of about $80 to be given in 
prizes to the winners of the dec- 
lamation and oratory contests in the 
school. Тһе same rules apply аз at 
the State contest, orations being 
judged on thought, composition and 
delivery, and thehighest average in 
all of these winning first prize. 
Declamation contests are open only 
to Freshmen and Sophomores and 
only declamations an approved list 
being allowed. First prize in ora- 
tory wins $5.00 and first prize in 
declamation $2.50. 

To further the cause of public 
speaking, especially in the form of 
debate, the Student Lantern has de- 
cided to print the picture of the de- 
bating team that wins the school 
championship in debating, together 
with the name of the society it rep- 
debated. 


The Lyceum and Senior Literary 


resents and the subject 
Societies are now negotiating for a 
debate and it is expected that the 
winner will challenge the school at 
large. Every society should get 
into the game. It has been some 
time since the championship has 
been contested from the Lyceum 
and we would like to see a greater 
interest in debating on the part of 
the school in general.

Literary Notes. 


LYCEUM. 

Jan. 16—The program consisted of a debate, “Resolved, That the annex- 
ation of Mexico by the United States would be for the best interests of both 
countries." Mr. O'Keefe opened for the affirmative, using for his main points 
the arguments that Mexico is geographically and commercially a part of the 
United States, and that the only way to restore law and order in Mexico was 
by annexation. Mr. Cumings followed for the negative and showed that 
Mexico was not necessarily a geographical or commercial part of the United 
States and that the United States had no moral right to interfere in the busi- 
ness of our brother republic. The debate could not be finished at this meet- 
ing and had to be left over to next. 

Jan. 23—Mr. Cummings finished his speech for the negative side of the 
debate and left but little room for the affirmative to squirm through. The 
affirmative was then ably debated by Mr. Wilson, of the affirmative. At this 
meeting plans were started for the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the 
founding of the Lyceum, and a committee consisting of Frank Gorman, chair- 
man, Wm. French and Arthur Koehler appointed. 

Jan. 30—Election of officers for second semester. President, William 
O’Keefe ;Vice-President, Arnold Schirmer; Secretary, W. Е. Whatley; Mar- 
shal, Henry Shannon. 

The subject of changing the time of Lyceum meetings was discussed bui 
after lengthy debate, led by Geisler and Cummings of the affirmative, and 
Gorman, Scherping and French on the negative, the motion was defeated. 

Feb. t—Meeting was taken up entirely by discussion of parliamentary 
laws in general and the legality of the election in particular. In the end, the 
legality of the election was upheld. The members were afforded much valua- 
ble instruction in the subject of parliamentary law at this meeting.

weeks ago, we are inclined to think that Arthur’s has been thrust upon him. 


Feb. 4—In chapel today, we were given a real treat in the way of selec- 
tions by the Amphion Club, while Mr. Warner pleaded with us not to make 
gum refineries out of our mouths. But if our esteemed principal thinks that 
he is going to put the chicle companies out of business by telling the girls 
there are bugs in chewing gum, he is sadly mistaken. We hear that the girls 
have decided to refine the gum themselves that they may have refined gum 
to chew. 

Feb. 6—Saginaw’s state championship aspirations received a severe jolt 
from Grand Rapids Central, 50 to 22.

On Jan. 16, Bay City's basketeers came down, confident of victory, and 
carried away their annual defeat. The game was close and exciting through- 
out, with the usual amount of roughness of an early season game. Saginaw 
could shoot baskets, but not fouls; Day City missed most of her shots at 
baskets, but made the fouls count. Saginaw's winning margin can thus be 
attributed to the fact that baskets count two points each, whereas fouls only 
count one, 

McCorkle and Rice, though both new men, played with all the confidence 
of veterans. McCorkle was the bright light of the game and showed that he 
is a real comer. The work of our guards was nothing short of phenomenal, 
as is shown by the number of baskets Bay City's veteran forwards threw— 
none. Bay City only made three baskets the entire game, two by the center 
and one by a guard. 

The two teams were right together the first half, Saginaw leading, 9 to 8 
at the halfway mark. They stayed together till the last ten minutes of the 
second half, when Saginaw scored four baskets in a row and was never headed.

Saginaw, 42; Arthur Hill, 40. 


Lack of familiarity with the floor, the slipperiness of said floor—the Teu- 
tonia dance hall—and the looseness of the baskets almost cost Saginaw the 
Arthur Hill game. Аз it was, we barely won, 42 to 40. The floor was so 
slippery that it was almost impossible to stop or get started when necessary. 
This proved a great handicap to Saginaw, while it was exactly to the liking 
of the Arthur Hillites, who were used to it. 

Arthur Hill scored twelve points before Saginaw got started. Once 
started, however, they came fast and were only five points behind the first 
half. These five were made up early in the second half and the two teams 
fought along to the end of the game on almost even terms. In fact, each 
thought they had won. The deciding factor of this game was the deadly ac 
сигасу of Captain Jack Runchey in foul shooting at the very end of the game. 
At this stage of the game, when every point counted so much, he made every 
chance count and thus saved the game for Saginaw. Runchey, Rice and 
McCorkle were the point getters for Saginaw, Runch making 18, Rice 12 and 
Jerry 10. The loss of Wallis was greatly felt in this game. With Dike in the 
line-up the score would never have been close.

won from Lansing's quintet by two points, 21 to 19. Lansing's team con- 
sisted of four six-footers and one midget, their captain, Palmer, and let mc 
say right here that he is one of the classiest basketeers ever seen on the Sagi- 
naw court. 

Like the Arthur Hill game, the outcome was the result of fouls, but this 
time it was McCorkle in the hero role. In the last five minutes of play Jerry 
caged four fouls out of four attempts, virtually saving the day. Previous to 
this, Captain Runchey had made only four out of 18. McCorkle also led on 
baskets, having three to his credit. Captain Palmer was Lansing's star, mak- 
ing eleven of their nineteen points.

About seventy-five couples defied the inauspicious deities in order to at- 
tend the Junior Hop, which was held on the 31st of January, in the Auditor- 
ium The audience was perceptibly impaired by the worst snowstorm of the 
season, but this perhaps made the affair the more enjoyable to those who 
braved the elements. 

The exquisite decorations presented a springlike scene, quite in contrast 
with the weather. The hall was transformed into a "leafy bower" by stream- 
ers of green and white hanging from the ceiling. A white lattice fence, 
heavily banked with palms, shut off the orchestra, and potted hyacinths here 
and there carried out the color scheme. Att one end of the hall a shield in 
green and white lights bore the class numerals; the programs were also dec- 
orated with small green and gold shields. Delicious punch was served 
throughout the evening, and during intermission ice cream and cake. The 
beautiful setting of the scene, the excellent music, and the fact that the floor 
was not crowded, united to make this one of the most charming parties of 
the year. It was unfortunate that the weather conditions caused its finan- 
cial setback, but the school will be anxious to see what further entertainment 
this ingenious class will offer. They have a reputation to live up to and we 
are sure they can do it. 

President Kurt Oppermann was in general charge of affairs, and his un- 
tiring effirts were in the main responsible for the social success of the party, 
which certainly deserved as great financial success. The chairmen of the 
various committees were as follows: Decorations, Wm, Wickes; refreshments. 
Lizzette McCormick; floor, Jessie Witherell; printing, Watts Humphrey ; 
tickets and invitations, Bernice Stranahan; music, Don McGee. The patron- 
esses were Mrs. W. W. Warner, Miss Pell, Mrs. E. C. Ewen, Mrs. W. S. 
Humphrey, Mrs. E. McCormick, Mrs. G. Е. Oppermann, Mrs. Wm. Polson, 
Mrs. R. W. Roberts, Mrs. Wm. Wickes, and Mrs. J. T. Wylie.

It Pays to Have Educated Parents 


"Pa," asked Willie Jones, as he 
was studying his history lesson, 
“who was Helen of Troy?" 

"Ask your ma," said Mr. Jones, 
who was not up in classie lore. 

“Helen of Troy," said Mrs. Jones, 
"was a girl who used to live with 
us. She came from Troy, №. Y. 
and was the best girl 1 ever had." 

There was a pause for a few min- 
utes and then Willie came to an- 
other epoch in history. "Ma, who 
was Mark Anthony?" 

"An old colored man who lived 
with my pa. What does it say about 
him there?" 

“It says his wife's name was 
Cleopatra." 

"The very same! Old Cleo used 
to wash for us. It’s strange how 
they came to be in that book." 

Soon Willie found another ques- 
tion to ask. "Say, ma, who was Ju- 
lius Caesar?" 

*Oh, he was one of the pagans of 
history." 

"But what made him famous?" 


persisted Willie. 


said Mrs. Jones. 


“Everything,” 


“Не was the one who said, ‘Eat. 
thou brute,’ when his horse wouldn't 
take its oats.” 

"But, |

"Your pa will tell you about him.

Then she listened with pride 
while Mr. Jones informed his son 
that Horace was the author of “Tin 
Trumpet," and a rare work on farm- 
ing, and that he was the people's 
choice for President, and only com- 
posed Latin verses to pass the time 


and amuse himself.
